I really thought that this was an old photograph took back in time. This is an amazing picture that you drawn. Your shading picture in this drawing is beautiful. I see the time you took to shade and color this. Thank you for sharing!

What an amazingly good result you have here. It is very photorealistic and I appreciate the skill you have with a graphite pencil. I know this castle and your attention to the finest detail is giving us viewers a lot to look at enjoy and admire.

Wow this is amazing artwork. At first glance you think it a photo then realize the textures and detail are created with graphite pencil.
An excellent artwork you can be proud of creating.

Wish I could give you more than a 6, a very impressive piece of art, at first glance I thought it was a vintage photograph of this German castle. The detailing in this piece is superb; definitely an excellent entry for this on test, my very best wishes to you!

This almost looks like a black and white photo. The shadowing and tones are spot on. The depth of details wonderful. It's a great entry into the contest. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! This looks so realistic like a photograph. Your use of graphite pastels creates such a soft and inviting atmosphere in your work of the castle.. It's like stepping into a dream. Well done. Good luck!

A beautiful black and white rendition of a castle. The black and white rendition is an appropriate addition to the overall, appearance. Its a gothic appearance

Comment from Lil-Jens Studio
Seen this structure done a couple dozen different ways, photos, paintings, etc. This monotone rendering is one of my favorites. It puts a very different spin on the so-called, "Disney" castle. Very ominous, even if that was not the intent. Also does a great job of projecting an old-world sense of the scene for the viewer. Rarely hand out six stars but this was definitely worthy.

A good looking image posted here into the competition posted here! Your fine and full composition gives us a good luck at that dramatic castle. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
